Staying connected to Malayalam can be challenging especially during Holiday Season!
Every year, we find ways to add a touch of heritage culture to the Christmas traditions like,
⭐️ Diverse books for children’s Christmas gift
⭐️ Adding a cultural element to the Christmas Tree

Starting early is the key to bilingual language development. But how ?
Interactive Bilingual Books can do magic when it comes to early language learning. The flaps to lift, bold letters to read and bright illustrations are perfect for little brains to absorb two languages at the same time.
Benefits of reading Namukku Pokaam book :
⭐️ Children can learn both Malayalam and English through the repetitive phrases “namukku pokaam..”
⭐️ Non- Malayalam speaking parents can read to their children as the book has transliterations of Malayalam script
⭐️ The flaps can capture child’s attention, keep them engaged and imaginative as they search for animals on each page.
⭐️ Multi sensory Learning as they incorporate various sensory experiences (Tactile-visual-auditory)
⭐️ Cognitive Development as they figure out how to lift the flap to reveal the hidden images

Namukku pokaam has 500 + happy readers globally and we have received lots of lovely reviews from happy parents. One of the cutest review was that their daughter asks for banana every time she reads the page “namukku pokaam vazhathoppil” even if it’s bedtime she eats “pazham” before going to next page 😅 (so cute)

The first step in language learning is to talk to children about their connection with the Malayalam Language. Such conversations can help them develop a sense of identity, belonging and understanding of the importance of learning the heritage language.
Some prompts to begin your conversation with kids:
⭐️ Do you know the name of the city in Kerala our parents live in?
⭐️ We can also initiate the conversation by sharing some interesting facts about Malayalam language ( ex. Do you Malayalam is a palindrome?)
⭐️ Explore the family tree using the family photo album
⭐️ Sharing family history
Send us a DM or comment “roots”, we can send your Malayalam English bilingual root map !
